    Problem #2 NOBODY in the debian camp tried to create a slink, 2.0 version of the package, since everybody is so busy making potato so good.

    I beg to differ :)

  4. My take on debian by Zibby · · Score: 1 · on Debian Freeze Rescheduled

    As far as running a mission critica server goes, the stable debian distribution is great. Granted it's dated, may lack some features, any you may have other issuses. But if you want to find a distribution that is going to be stable right away after installation, debian is great.

    Potato is called unstalbe for a reason., but in my experiences with potato most of the broken packages have been overwrite errors. As in "Package XYZ is trying to overwrite file ABC which is also in package ZYX." This is simple enough to fix. dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/package.deb

    Yeah it can be a pain, but that's why it's unstable. On the other hand, I have a potato success story.

    Linux destiny 2.2.12 #5 Sat Sep 4 20:11:28 CDT 1999 i486 unknown
    8:49pm up 64 days, 1:43, 17 users, load average: 0.20, 0.12, 0.04

    This "server" serves up e-mail for about 40 people as well as doing light (in comparsion to slashdot) web trafic. It's happily running potato.

    Something debian should consider is not abandoning stable while working on the next distribution. From memory, gnome and X11 where the main packages that got any attention in slink.

    Personally, I'll be staying with debian (for now) but am planning staying with stable (once potato is stable anyway...) unless something I really, really must run just won't run or compile under potato.

    And for those of you running slink, you may want to look into this, and the debian might want to consider maiking a sudo-distribution like this offical.

    Acconding to apt on #debian:
    hybrid is, like, a system based on slink with selected packages recompiled from potato (it does not officially exist; it's a phenomena). You must update apt by upgrading to slink-R3 ('apt-get update; apt-get upgrade') then ask me about 'sources'.
